论环境诉讼中现有司法资源的发掘与利用

On the Exploration and Utilization of the Existing Judicial Resources in the Environmental Litigation

在公益诉讼制度尚未建立起来的情况下,我国传统的私益诉讼制度实际上已经为环境诉讼提供了相对丰富的立法保障。为环境公益而诉,在传统私益诉讼中的原告资格问题并不存在不可逾越的制度瓶颈。司法实践中原告资格在传统私益诉讼中已经成功地进行了扩张,早已突破了"直接利害关系原则",通过传统私益诉讼来达到维护环境公益的目的,适格的原告并不匮乏。司法系统在痛下决心后对环境诉讼给予的有力保障,在现有法律框架下,除了原告资格的有效扩张以外,还有许多亟待发掘利用的司法制度宝藏。

China＇s traditional civil litigation system has already provided a relatively extensive legislative protection under the circumstances that the public interest litigation system has not yet been established. To file a lawsuit for the environmental public interest, the system bottleneck of the plaintiff qualification in the traditional private interest litigation is not insurmountable.In the judicial practice, the plaintiff qualification in the traditional private interest litigation has been expanded successfully. The ＂direct interests principle＂ has been broken through already. Therefore, to achieve the purpose of safeguarding the environmental public interest through traditional private interest litigation, the suitable plaintiff is not insufficient. In order to provide the powerful guarantee to the environmental litigation, there are many judicial system treasures to explore and utilize urgently in addition to the plaintiff qualification of the effective expansion within the existing legal framework.
